[SOLVED] Cups 2.0 remote access issues

After CUPS recent upgrade to 2.0 both my cups server and client stopped working. In particular, I cannot even get to the administration pages from remote access.

I can get to CUPS's  home page, but I get an error as soon as I try to access any other page. The error I get in the browser (firefox) is

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ....

Following wiki instructions, in my cupsd.conf file I have replaced the standard

Listen localhost:631

with the ip range for the local network

 
Listen 192.168.0.0/24:631

and I have added

<Location />
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from @LOCAL
</Location>

# Restrict access to the admin pages...
<Location /admin>
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from @LOCAL
</Location>

# Restrict access to configuration files...
<Location /admin/conf>
   AuthType Basic
   Require user @SYSTEM
   Order allow,deny
   Allow From @LOCAL
</Location>

DefaultEncription Never

Unfortunately, nothing has changed. I still get the same error in the browser and I cannot access the admin pages (or any page other than the home page).

Help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] Cups 2.0 remote access issues

Same here, I discovered my file sshd.service disappeared on the server. I get the error

# systemctl start cupsd
Failed to start cupsd.service: Unit cupsd.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Don't know how to solve for now

Unless it's a custom service file your relying on, the service has been re-named.

Thanks. I'm so stupid I didn't check the wiki (first thing to do).
Sorry Stefano if I "made dirty" your post... unless also your cupsd service is disabled

Unfortunately, that's not where my problem lies. I was aware of the renaming issue and had acted accordingly.

Still looking for solutions.

Re: [SOLVED] Cups 2.0 remote access issues

Web access is solved---I had misread the wiki instructions.

The default line:

Listen localhost:631

Should be replaced with a simple

Port 631

and not with an ip address and/or range, as I had done.

I am marking the issue as solved, even though I still can't print---local print jobs (e..g test pages) get stuck forever, remote print jobs never reach the server.

Same here. So I guess downgrading CUPS is the only option?
